White, black or anthracite to match frames
Fitting arranged around your day, with dust sheets and tidy-up
Low-profile tracks for doors and patio openings
Internal fitting so the outside of the home is unchanged
Quick-release escape handles for bedrooms and upstairs rooms

What the rules say in Scotland

Scotland

Grilles in rented homes

Private landlords in Scotland must meet the repairing standard, which includes fire safety provisions. Grilles over windows a tenant may need for escape should open from inside without a key.

Grilles inside the glass

A grille fitted inside the glass does not normally need planning permission in Scotland, as it does not materially change the outside of the building. If the building is listed, listed building consent may still be needed.

Home security grilles in Penicuik: questions

Which areas near Penicuik do you cover?

We can arrange work in Penicuik and in nearby Dalkeith (7 miles), Edinburgh (8 miles) and Musselburgh (10 miles). Dates depend on installer availability.

Can grilles be fitted in a rented home?

Tenants need the landlord's permission. Landlords should make sure escape routes stay usable for tenants.

Do home security grilles look like prison bars?

Not when they are fitted inside the glass in a matching colour. Folded back, a grille is a slim stack at the side of the window.

Do I need planning permission for grilles on my house?

Internal grilles usually do not need planning permission. External grilles, listed homes and homes in conservation areas may need consent, so we check first.
